Well i found away to soften the 60' up. I had 900 lbs of pressure and didn't prime the system. I also waited till 30' out to turn it on.

here's the #'s

1.644-60
7.036-1/8 ET
99.41 -1/8 MPH
10.982-1/4
124-1/4.

Goal achieved with a hyd cam of 460 lift. 218 @.050. This car could run 10.50's, but i would need a roll bar and a D-44 before pushing it any harder.

Nice job ! I'd still start looking for the D44

I would sure like to have one, but there's no funds for one. So i'll just go back to driving the car for elementary school transportation
( delivery and pick up of son), grocery pick up, and work car.

good job but you should sell the 36 and put in a 44 as soon as possible before its too late

Don't sell that Dana 36 Mike! Gold plate it and hang it above the mantle, that's one veeeery special D36

Congrat's on the 10, that's awesome, bet it felt great!

BTW, I did the D44 swap and it sure feels good knowing it's back there. Now I'm pulling the front's a couple inches on 1.60 launches and wondering when I'll break the 700R4.

I guess there's always a new weakest link.

Congrat's again!

Goin fast is fun

Yep, i have one of a kind D-36. HEHE. I'm a 2 times a yr racer, or unless i make changes. Bracket racing is ok, but i don't like being at the track all day. Plus i stink.

I 'll maybe start looking for one next winter, until then it's back to the street with drag radials.

I am with ya....that's why I do track rentals, good way for less experienced folks to learn in a layed back setting

As for drs..that's what I run to the track, rip off some 10s and drive it home

The problem with selling my current D-36 is it's probably not worth much seeing it has 137K on it. It is quiet..but i just don't see their worth much. I was thinking when i finally get a 44 i might just see what it'll take !!! Does it usually hurt anything else when these 36's break ?

I drive to the track on slicks (6 miles)...just not on the road and in the rain. The M&H muscle car tire does great in dry and wet weather for me as my commute to work is on 35 NPH posted roads.
